Some aspects of the games' campaigns and maps have caused controversy in the past

The identity of the developer has been known for some time because Activision has three studios working on Call of Duty at any one time, with each taking turns to produce games in the franchise on a three-year cycle.

Will it have single player?

YES. Despite Black Ops IV ditching a single-player campaign, the next Call of Duty game will have one.

This was finally officially confirmed when Activision reported its financial results for 2018 and expectations for 2019 on February 11.

They also confirmed it would include "co-op experiences" similar to Black Ops' zombies and lots of multiplayer.

A job listing for Infinity Ward, posted last year, showed at that point that they were looking for temporary designers of single-player experiences -- and it has since been confirmed that a full single-player experience can be expected.

Is CoD 2019 going to be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4?

It is certainly looking that way.

Call of Duty: Ghosts and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare were both self-contained story arcs that didn't really seem to resonate with fans, and many feel there is unfinished business in the Modern Warfare storyline that needs to be resolved.

Solid rumours emerged as early as May 2018 that Infinity Ward's 2019 game was Modern Warfare 4, and all the signs since then have pointed in the same direction.

Will there be a beta?

This hasn't been confirmed yet, but it is certainly expected.

As the game is expected to release some time in October or November, you can expect a beta at some point late in the summer.

What about multiplayer?

Rumours from GamingIntel suggest the game WON'T have a battle royale mode as the developer looks to stick to the basics that have previously served the series so well.

It is also suggested that the game won't have specialist classes for players to choose from, so every player in every match will be picking from the same loadouts without special abilities to augment their action on the battlefield.

This would take the multiplayer back to the way it was in Infinity Ward's beloved earlier iterations of the franchise; Infinite Warfare had a similar system in place.
